    I’d maybe trim a couple of ends but I’d definitely add some more cuttings to each pot to fill it out some.

    Agreed with above, cutting them back encourages bushier growth.

      How far up should I cut?

      It’s really up to you. Experts say not to prune more than 10% off a plant at one time, but I’ve cut as much as 50% before and the plant has been fine. Just decide the max length you want all the vines to be and snip. The plant will eventually recover with more offshoots.

    Yes! Making the base bushy is an option. You can also prop more and gift to others.
